Mystery Woman in Red Steals the Show on the BAFTA Red Carpet

by

Maura Higgins made a striking impression at a recent high-profile event, wearing a stunning red satin gown with eye-catching details and a long train. She completed the look with sheer black gloves, blending in seamlessly with the Hollywood stars present.

Sources say her appearance wasn’t just about fashion; she reportedly made a good impression on several Hollywood executives. While she hasn’t received any major award nominations yet, Maura has recently started her acting career with a role in the Irish comedy The Spin.

In the lighthearted road movie, she plays a character named Rose, though her screen time is brief – less than two minutes in the 92-minute film. In one short scene, she playfully complains to a co-star, saying, “Ugh, Dermot, can we please just do it tomorrow because I’ve had just such a long day and I’m knackered.”

In the film The Spin, two friends and record shop owners, played by Brenock O’Connor and Owen Colgan, go on a quest to find valuable old vinyl records to save their business. The movie also stars Tara Lynne O’Neill (known from Derry Girls) as their strict landlord, and it marks a new beginning for Maura, who is moving from reality TV to acting. Industry professionals are paying attention to her transition and potential in scripted roles.

Wow, Maura Higgins absolutely blew everyone away at the #BAFTAs! She looked incredible on the red carpet – a total showstopper during #AwardsSeason. I’m completely captivated!

Maura’s recent US tour, called “Cracking America,” is gaining momentum thanks to her appearance on the current season of The Traitors US. She’s quickly become popular with American audiences, who have likened her stylish look to that of a Real Housewives cast member.

Social media is filled with enthusiastic fans, with one viewer hoping that both Natalie Anderson and Maura Higgins leave the show as winners, sharing the $250,000 prize.

The actress recently celebrated her growing popularity in the U.S. with a party in West Hollywood, where she posed with her co-stars wearing a statement faux fur coat and tights that read “Mom, I am a rich man.” Since becoming well-known on Love Island UK, Maura has transitioned into several other TV roles and hosting jobs, including working as a social media ambassador for Love Island USA. She’s now dividing her time between London and Los Angeles while pursuing acting roles and brand partnerships.

The popular star has several exciting projects in the works, including a possible return for another season on major streaming services and talk of a partnership with a well-known American fashion brand. Her current show, The Traitors US, which combines reality TV personalities with everyday players, is still a big hit on Peacock. As Maura expands her career internationally, her fans are hoping she’ll soon take on a leading role in a major movie.
